VCU Winter/Spring Break Programs
Faculty-Led Programs: Winter Break
Faculty lead study abroad programs over VCU's winter term. Winter is a great option for students who may have tight scheduling constraints during the semester and summer.

Featured External Programs: Winter Break
Some third-party organizations also offer programs over the January intersession. VCU Education Abroad recommends exploring the following programs, in disciplines that our faculty do not cover. It is your responsibility to verify that external program dates align with VCU's academic calendar, and that you will be back in Richmond on time to begin VCU's spring semester.
